A possible remedy of course is the back pack, but I'm used to having a magnetic tank bag which was a nice touch with my former 900RR. But, with the plastic tank on this repsol there is an obvious dilemna. Is there any way to secure a scratch safe bag on top of the tank via straps, etc. Is it sold anywhere or just not avail?

Thanks up front!

 

I have a luggage locker tankbag on my CBR1000 and it does not touch the tank at all! It locks on to the gas cap.
I have them for sale at our shop if you want one. PM me and I will get you a price on one that is a great deal..they retail for $159..

I took my plastis tank cover off and duct taped a few 1/8 inch stripes of metal on the underside where the magnets from the tank bag grab. I have to form fit them, but it works good

 

Thanks Sirlimpzalot and GoneCrazy,

Really appreciate the information you provided. So I now have two options to choose from which is always better than one. Nice fix GoneCrazy - definitely going to pull the plastic cover off and see what I can do to use my current tank bag since it was a great asset from the last CBR 900...

Very interesting site Sirlimpzalot. I had considered they're might be a tank back with a center magnet strong enough to hold a tank back, but never considered a mounting system that didn't even touch the tank outright. Very ingenious!

Thanks again guys!
